Subconsciously I've been cutting back on a lot of things as the bills stack up higher and higher. I'm not struggling like alot of other people are, butI don't want to be at the point of no return either. Here's some things that come to mind:

Everyday Food - Used to spend $12-$20 per day on food, now I just eat at home when I can, and if I do have to get food outside I keep it to like $5-$7 onoccasions
Haircut - Had shorter hair so I used to spend $20 every single week. Now I let it rock for 2-3 weeks.
Driving - I try not to take the car out too often unless needed, and I plan my routes more efficiently nowadays. When there is a cash discount at a gasstation, I'll make the effort to take advantage, time permitting.
Going out - Definitely don't need to much of that so its easy to cut back
Shopping - Only stuff I've bought recently are cold weather stuff and they were all dumb cheap. Even started looking in stores I'd never normally stepfoot in

You dont even have a car, you live with your moms....

You're still in high school, you pay no bills...

The only time you ever even came to New York was on a family trip to be a tourist. You smashed nothing.

i'm driving to and from work, sleeping in on my weekends off. I'm trying to save with minimal spending here and there, but not as much.

For example, last movie I bought was Iron Man on the RD. I bought FIFA last wednesday because I had to, and got in on the TRU buy 2 get 1 deal last weekend for6 games. I bought a 2001 Ichiro jersey too this week. I spend a LOT, that's done. I'm in xmas mode now...

Food: Used to buy lunch everyday and sometimes breakfast. Now I'm making all of my meals at home from store-bought food.
Shoes/Clothing: Less than before. Not much I can say here.
Work: Not necessarily cutting back, but putting in more hours.
Driving: Less driving around for no reason and less going around for midnight drives to save gas.

all I can think of for now.
